Java ME developers switching to other mobile development platforms (paxmodept.com)

I tried Java ME dev a couple years ago and discovered that it was a complete waste of time. Different manufacturers can choose to support different parts of the spec so your apps are never guaranteed to work on all Java ME supported phones.

It was a real disappointment.

well, it just about a time anyway. it's painful to write on emulator and then find out that in the program didn't work as expected in handset.
